The Shiraz and Viognier grapes of the Monkey King originate from South Australia, mainly from the McLaren Vale region. As growers, McMurtrie, Lloyd, and Borre are all among the most esteemed in the area, spanning at least two generations. The grapes were harvested simultaneously and co-fermented. A small amount of white Viognier brings acidity, suppleness, and elegance to this red wine. The wine was matured in oak barrels, some of which were French and some American oak, with both old and new barrels utilized. The wine has been awarded multiple times and received excellent reviews from renowned critics.

Producer story

RedHeads originated when a group of Australians went to France to teach an old dog new tricks. Australia had caused quite a stir with its wines in the 1970s and 1980s. The seed for RedHeads was planted. In a small shed in McLaren Vale, a few winemakers decided to shake off the chains of large corporations and start making 'real' wine, in small batches, by hand, just like in the old days. This required small, top-quality plots of land whose growers never got to taste the fruits of their labor because big corporations turned them into unreasonably expensive wines. There was honor in it, but couldn't those wines be enjoyed too? RedHeads bring these grapes to their Studio vineyard, a few rows at a time, giving them special treatment – handcrafted, carefully, skillfully, monitored day and night. RedHeads aims to produce unique wines meant to be enjoyed. They are environmentally conscious; their GreenHeads project continuously works on innovations to save water and energy, protect pollinators, and keep their operations human-sized.
